Description
Get your green thumbs ready to sow the seeds of STEM in this nature-themed activity! Students will design a planter box for strawberry seedlings (yum!). They will then create a scale model, using their measurement skills, that will fit 10 seedlings with the appropriate spacing. If you have a community garden at your school or are thinking of adding one this is a great way to get students to start thinking about the planning that needs to go into garden beds!
